Lyrics
Ain't it good, ain't it right
That you are with me here tonight
Music playing, our bodies swaying in time
(In time, in time, in time)
Touching you, so warm and tender
Lord, I feel such a sweet surrender
Beautiful is the dream that makes you mine
Mm, rock me gently, rock me slowly
Take it easy, don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before
Baby, baby, rock me gently, rock me slowly
Take it easy, don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before
Oh my darling, oh my baby
You got the moves that drive me crazy
And on your face I see a trace of love
(Of love, of love, of love)
Come hold me close, don't let me go
I need you, honey, I love you so
You were made for me by the stars above
Mm, rock me gently, rock me slowly
Take it easy, don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before
And baby, baby, rock me gently, rock me slowly
Take it easy, don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before
Rock me gently, rock me slowly
Take it easy, don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before
Ain't it good, ain't it right
That you are with me here tonight
Rock me gently, rock me slowly
Take it easy, don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before
Baby, baby, rock me gently, rock me slowly
Take it easy, don't you know
That I have never been loved like this before
